SPECTRA is DISCO RIOT's spring show sharing stories of personal histories and cultures, magic, play and dreams featuring new works by DISCO RIOT company artists Marty Dorado, Zaquia Mahler Salinas, Chelsea Zeffiro, and guest artist Anna Brown Massey with company dancers Lauren Christie, Nicole Oga, Sol dela Rosa, and Odessa Uno Admission to this show is by donation ($12 per ticket for artists/students and $25 per ticket for general public suggested). Please reserve your seat in advance as tickets will not be available at the door. **Masks are required for all audience members.** About the Program: "Girldream" (1996) by Chelsea Zeffiro is a series of danced vignettes rooted in sensorial explorations of wish, play, and dream. The dance is the culmination of a task-based and improvisatory process with the DISCO RIOT company dancers. This work is accompanied by a digital mixtape which she has assembled during our process and which serves as a dedication to the performers. Marty Dorado is excited to present a new dance work in honor of his 10 year anniversary of moving to San Diego. His piece highlights the stories of four characters who use their past experiences to inspire their future paths in life. A dance of survival, friendship, and transformation, Hourglass Alchemy by Zaquia Mahler Salinas explores the questions: what are our inherited traumas, inherited triumphs, and inherited magic? The duet, performed with Chelsea Zeffiro, is dedicated to Desiree Cuizon. Anna Brown Massey’s newest work brings joyful, riotous fun to this Scottish fever dream of a dance. Massey highlights DISCO RIOT’s gift for musical virtuosity and explosive power to celebrate kinship and determination. Come for the art, stay for the party! Visit Disco Riot on Facebook+ Instagram
